Are you not able to do the math? I included weekly and daily because those were the stats presented. I explicitly said weekly and daily and didnt try to hide them. And the point wasn't to say NPR has more listeners. The point was that it's not as trivial as you claimed.

Also, this wasn't about webpage hits. This is about daily LISTENERS.

This isn't exactly the case, the fact we don't use nuclear power is the largest polluter. Electricity generation is the largest source of emissions by far, and using insulator gases in "alternative energy".

During the pandemic, CO2 rates in the atmosphere actually increased as transportation rates fell off a cliff.

CO2 emissions decreased by about 7%. It's also noted that CO2 emissions generally recovered to "normal" levels by summer, so only a 3 month reduction. While atmospheric CO2 increased, it increased at a rate 22% less than 2019. Scientists were expecting a 7% reduction in year over year CO2 concentrations due to El Nino status but instead measured an additional 15% reduction beyond what was expected.

What is the difference between the cup holders on the Airbus vs something like the 757? Haven't flown an Airbus yet and honestly don't know.

CBreezy

I don't have first hand experience but from riding the JS, the cup holders are next to the window and are VERY narrow/deep.

The difference is nothing fits in them except a Coke can. I have bought skinnier and skinnier cups and non have fit. I gave up. Some people have specific ones that work. I don’t like those that work.

Interesting to us non-Airbus pilots. Didn't realize this was a thing.

Airbus Spill-Proofs A350 Consoles

By Russ Niles -Published:September 6, 2020

For the want of a good fitting cup holder, Airbus had to reengineer the center console of its new flagship A350 long-range twin (with apologies to Ben Franklin). As we reported in February, the use of the conveniently flat and accessible center console as, well, a coffee table prompted the costly diversion of at least two A350s last winter. That resulted in an emergency AD from the European Aviation Safety Administration that essentially banned liquids within reach of the pilots. The AD also mandated a long-term fix and Airbus has reworked the nerve center of the aircraft’s engines to make it “liquid resistant” according to Flight Global.

The integrated flight panel has been redesigned to cast off spills without shutting down any of the engines, which is what happened on a Delta flight from Detroit to Seoul and an Asiana flight from Seoul to Singapore. In both instances one of the engines shut down and couldn’t be restarted. The Delta flight had to go to Fairbanks and the Asiana flight to Manila. After first banning liquids from sensitive areas of the cockpit, Airbus created a cover that would protect the controls. The liquid-resistant integrated flight panel is the final fix and it will be mandated by EASA soon. It’s not clear if the EASA mandate will include bigger cup holders. There are at least two located well out of harm’s way to the left of the captain and right of the FO but they’re too small for the paper cups used by most airport vendors.

Thank you for getting this back on the rails.
And thank you all for the recommendations EARLIER in the thread. I may need to do some comparison. Especially appreciate the Hot/Cold discussion.
